Rustic, relaxed and natural, with a few unusual twists. We were lucky enough to borrow a family friend&rsquo;s country house and gardens &ndash; the quirky house, croquet lawn and converted barn (where we had the after-party) were the perfect setting. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We used a colour palette of sage green, pinks and florals with lots of rustic decor &ndash; <span class=\"il\">Bren<\/span> built the bar out of palettes, we used all our vintage French homeware, then I added a contemporary twist with candy-stripe confetti bags and bright rose, peony and wildflower displays. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I wore a lace Maggie Sottero dress (Britannia) and added a vintage style belt and Justin Alexander straps. It was fitted, feminine and I loved wearing it. <span class=\"il\">Bren<\/span> wore a slim-fit airforce blue three-piece suit from Reiss with a sage green tie and floral pocket square. The overall theme was florals, botanical prints and garden party style &ndash; relaxed, natural and informal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium

style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Moments:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>For <span class=\"il\">Bren<\/span>, it was our band &ndash; we asked Alex and the Concords to play for us (after spotting them busking) and they were incredible. After our first dance, virtually everyone was up on the dance floor &ndash; mums, dads, friends &ndash; and they played a set list of rock-n-roll and boogie-woogie tracks. The perfect soundtrack for the celebrations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For me, aside from the bouncy hoppers (which were ridiculously fun) it was probably walking from the church into the garden for our Pimm&rsquo;s reception. After months of frantic planning, everything had come together so perfectly &ndash; the sun was shining, our friends and family were happy and we were finally married. I caught <span class=\"il\">Bren<\/span>&lsquo;s eye and we were both like &lsquo;Yup, nailed it!&rsquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Couple Recommends:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>For both of us, it was our photographers. Vicky and Chris are a husband and wife team and such an awesome couple. <span class=\"il\">Bren<\/span> was pretty unsure about having his photo taken, but after our engagement shoot (scrambling around Ambleside in the Lake District) he was completely sold &ndash; it&rsquo;s impossible not to relax and be yourself when it feels more like a day out than a photoshoot! And the photos themselves &ndash; what can I say? The cornfield photoshoot has to be one of our favourite memories.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"goldbox\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Wedding Team:<\/em><\/span><br>\nPhotography &ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sansomphotography.co.uk\/\">Sansom Photography<\/a><br>\nCeremony Venue &ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.morlandchurch.org.uk\/\">St. Lawrence Church<\/a><br>\nReception Venue &ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.morlandhouse.net\/\">Morland House<\/a><br>\nCatering &ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spittingpig.co.uk\/\">Spitting Pig<\/a><br>\nCake &ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lucysofambleside.co.uk\/\">Lucy&rsquo;s of Ambleside<\/a><br>\nLive Music &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/agconcords\">Alex Graham and the Concords<\/a><br>\nMakeup Artist &ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hairforawedding.co.uk\/\">Gemma Louise Smith<\/a><br>\nWedding Dress &ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/\">Maggie Sottero<\/a> via&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theharrogateweddinglounge.com\/\">The Harrogate Wedding Lounge<\/a><br>\nRentals &ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wildeandromantic.co.uk\/\">Wilde &amp; Romantic<\/a><br>\nMarquee&nbsp;&ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marqueehirepenrith.co.uk\/\">DTL Marquee Hire<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Congrats to Sarah and Bren on their playful English wedding!
